Mica:

Thanks for the update. As C. Montgomery Burns would say: EXCELLENT!

Bill, tgo

Wow!! Excellent inlay, Bill! I don't know how I missed this earlier. Very Seegeresque.

Tom:

Thanks. You've pegged the lineage: Woody (This machine kills fascists) to Pete (This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender) to me.
It's been a LONG time coming, but ultimately worth the wait.

Bill, tgo

You saw it engraved a few days ago, but now it's been filled and it's living in your guitar:

It's just got the epoxy covering it now. Still needs to get sanded smooth and the last few coats of spray. Here's the whole body:

I love it!

Wow! Looks like light at the end of the tunnel, Bill!

Absolutely gorgeous! The quilting, and the quadruple pinstripes just look awesome!

Cannot believe how long you've had to wait Bill: looking mighty fine!

Thanks guys. Art takes time! It's not finished yet, but we're getting close. The wait would have been a lot more painful if I wasn't lucky (smart?) enough to live near Alembic, so I could regularly visit. Next up: amber tint.

Bill, tgo

That is a very handsome-looking axe, Bill. The inlay is really awesome, on several different levels. Hang in there--that last finishing touches stage can be the hardest part of the whole wait sometimes--it doesn't look like it will be too much longer!

Bill,

Congratulations, and glad to see you on the home stretch.

I'm happy for me! *snicker*

Bradley

Bradley:

I'm happy for both of us. We've been patiently waiting, and soon we're gonna be the proud poppas of two very exceptional instruments. As I said some 2.5 years ago: This is fun!

Bill, tgo

Bradley Young · « **Reply #175 on:** April 30, 2007, 08:10:56 PM »

Exactly!

Although I think it'll be funner when it arrives.

Hi Bradley,

I'm working with Mica today on the body banner and type. Then I'll quote you on the Maxx inlay.

Moving forward.

Susan

Thanks Susan!

Homestretch, now with amber tint on the front Quilted Maple only:

I know you already saw this, Bill, but a photo never hurts!

Mica,

Forget about Bill, these photos are for the rest of us who can't wait to see the updates! =)

Lookin' good Bill. Lookin' REAL good.
